How To Achieve A Mildew-Free Bathroom

• Mildew in bathrooms is a problem every one of us
  will have faced at some time or another, and for
  many of us, its a recurring issue. When mildew
  takes over, not only does it look extremely
  unsightly, but it can smell bad, too. Bathrooms
  naturally generate a lot of moisture, and that
  moisture tends to cling to the ceilings and walls
  unless it can be swiftly and effectively
  evacuated through a vent following a bath or
  shower. The warm air created in bathrooms
  combined with the moisture that often has nowhere
  to go, makes for the perfect mildew and mold
  breeding conditions, and if not tackled, the
  problem will never go away.

• Get a bathroom vent installed or replaced
• Air circulation is vital for a bathroom that
  looks and smells fresh and clean, and so if you
  dont already have a vent in yours, you need to
  get one installed, and quick! Nowadays, vents are
  installed in new homes and when old homes are
  renovated, they are automatically put in and can
  be far less expensive than the cost of potential
  repairs to walls and ceilings and even the house
  structure when mold and mildew take hold. Ensure
  that the air vented from your bathroom can flow
  outside and not up into the attic, otherwise
  youll simply transfer the mold and mildew
  problem to the top of your home where it may
  breed uncontrollably out of sight for months and
  even years.

• If a vent is not an option in your bathroom for
  whatever reason, then the next best thing would
  be to open a window whenever possible and wipe
  down damp surfaces using a hygienic cleaning
  solution immediately after showering or bathing.
• Open windows wherever and whenever possible
• It may not always be convenient to keep the
  windows in your bathroom open and some bathrooms
  may not even have a window but it certainly
  helps to keep the room ventilated in the absence
  of (or in addition to) a vent.

• Give your plumbing the once over
• Always be on the look-out for leaky pipes and
  plumbing, whether its the faucets, showerhead or
  shower door. When water leaks in a bathroom and
  goes unchecked, it can quickly lead to mold
  and/or mildew, and a musty smell might be one of
  the first indications that there might be a
  problem. Some mildew begins to grow in places
  that you might not think to check, such as under
  sinks or high up on walls, so try to remember to
  look there if you cant see the cause of the
  smell at first glance. If you do have a leak
  somewhere in your bathroom, unless youre a
  qualified plumber, its best to leave it to the
  experts.

• How else can you prevent mildew in your bathroom?
• Other small but equally important ways in which
  you can minimize the mildew in your bathroom, is
  by regularly cleaning bathroom mats, towels and
  tiles and keeping the shower stall and bathtub as
  clean as possible.
• Mildew in bathrooms is a real pain and for
  recurring outbreaks, it might be quickest and
  most effective to seek help from a professional
  cleaning company, who will know exactly how to
  eradicate it using the most efficient and
  environmentally friendly ways.
